July 4th and PatriotismThursday, July 3, 2008 12:34 PM
From: "S.B.Woo" Add sender to Contacts To: tojulei@yahoo.com

On July 4th, we celebrate the blessings of liberty which we enjoy as
Americans. Let's all display a flag, shall we?

Patriotism is "love and devotion to country. The questions are how we
love it and how we express our devotion."

There is a great article in Time magazine by Peter Beinart on patriotism
(July 7 issue). I can't do it justice by summarizing it. Nevertheless, I'll try
with the aim to entice you to read the article itself. He wrote and I
paraphrase liberally:

American patriotism wears tow faces. Conservatives prefer the
patriotism of affirmation. Liberals choose the patriotism of dissent.
Conservatives think that being born into a nation is like being born into
a family. You love it because it is yours. Liberals think patriotism is a
struggle to narrow the gap between American ideals and America's
reality. To conservatives, the devotion to America must come first,
struggle to improve it is secondary. To liberals, America must earn our
devotion by making good on its ideals.

Both brands of patriotism have defects. Celebrating America too
unabashedly risks becoming self-righteous and turn patriotism into
nationalism. However, loving America purely because of its ideals could
lead to switching allegiance to other nations too easily.

America needs a mixture of both brands, because love of country
requires both affirmation and criticism.

Many Asian Americans are personal embodiments of this ideal
mix. We give America our primary allegiance*. At the same time, we are
engaged in a great struggle prodding America to fulfill its core value --
equal opportunity for all Americans.

Please display a flag. July 4th is affirmation time.

Warmest regards,

S. B. Woo
President, 80-20 Educational Foundation, Inc.

* What if a naturalized citizen still has strong feelings for his/her old
country? That is quite OK, so long as he/she gives first allegiance to
America. America is a great and wise nation. It knows that people who
can forget their old country over one naturalization ceremony could easily
forget America the next moment.

July 3, 2008

Dear Tony,

Tomorrow on July 4th we will celebrate our nation~{!/~}s birthday with fireworks, parades, and barbeques. It is a day for rejoicing and remembering. It is a time to put aside partisan politics and begin to work together to turn this country in a new direction, so every child can attain his/her god given potential, seniors can get the medicine they need, our fighting men and women can come home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and working families can afford to buy gas and groceries without worrying about losing their homes.

To celebrate, our team will be marching in the Boulder City Damboree Parade and attending events across the valley. Come join us or let us know where you and your family will be and we~{!/~}ll try to stop by.

I want to thank you again for your generous support of this campaign. With your help we have reached our goal and will be turning in a strong financial report, showing how much can be accomplished in a short time when people desperately want change.

Tonight I will be appearing on the 9:00 news with Jeff Gillan of Las Vegas One. Stay Tuned.

Finally, we are looking for people to host house parties. If you or someone you know would like to host a party in the district, please let us know.

Thank you for everything; I~{!/~}ll talk to you soon.

Happy Fourth of July!

Dina

Fw: An incredible love story

An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world.

It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.

The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last 50 years.

Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin..

In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.

At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.. To avoid the market gossip and the scorn of their communities, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing Municipality.

In the beginning, life was harsh as hey had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives.

Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, 'Are you regretful? Liu always replied, 'As long as we are industrious, life will improve.'

In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.
Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and were surprised to find the elderly couple and the over 6,000 hand-carved steps. Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, 'My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day. He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother's convenience, although she doesn't go down the mountain that much.'

The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.

'You promised me you'll take care of me, you'll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?'

Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband's black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks.
In 2006, their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

Once you send the message, press F6 and you will see what appear .... unbelievable but true .....

Send this to at least 15 pe ople , and then press F6 ; the name of the person you love will appear...

Message from the Dean of the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration

Greetings from UNLV. We are excited about the opportunity to work with TAGHI in
Taiwan and elsewhere in Asia where our courses, workshops, seminars and certificate
programs can be used to enhance the education and training and employability of
participants.

UNLV is an international brand with campuses in Las Vegas, Singapore, and soon in the
United Arab Emirates. These campuses all offer the accredited courses and programs of
the highly respected and premier ranked UNLV Harrah Hotel College. At all campuses,
our courses and programs are offered by faculty who are 100% employed by UNLV. The
result of our delivering independent programs around the world is that a student can start
a program of study at one campus and then transfer to another without reapplying. All
courses transfer automatically since they are part of the same program. The ultimate
result is that students receive a rich understanding of multiple cultures from different
countries while studying hospitality management.
We are hopeful that you will choose to take advantage of these offerings by TAGHI. You
can be assured that we will do our best at UNLV to always provide you with the finest in
hospitality management education. Our cooperative effort with TAGHI is just another
expression of our interest in the global phenomenon of tourism and its growth around the
world.
Sincerely,

劉彤談跨越的人生 滿座情濃
分享出書心情 認為人生最需要是智慧 肯定自我要先找到定位 強調「付出」才有快樂

【本報記者黃美惠聖荷西報導】剛出版「跨越的人生」一書的劉彤牧師13日分享出書心情，簽書會上就像他平常主領禮拜一般座無虛席，只不過台下坐的絕大多數不是他牧養的教友，而是來聽他談「書」的讀者。演講後，「作家」劉彤現場簽書，有人一口氣買下六本、20本，打算當禮物送人，他們說：「大家都想自己人生能有所跨越。」

為劉彤引言的是世界日報社長宋晶宜，她說自己讀了劉彤的書不止三遍，他不但是牧師，也是心理家、生活家，書中所言對人生確有幫助，跨越不是和別人競賽，而是和自己比，有所改變和提升。

作家吳玲瑤出書30餘本，她以資深作家身分點評劉彤的新書，並用幽默笑話呼應，讓全場滿座來賓笑出不少皺紋來，她講完，劉彤接著講時讚美她說：「妳講得比我好。」

劉彤提到書的緣起，是多年前他開始五分鐘靈修電話」，從而發現自己有個小小專長，「就是把大道理用簡單的話簡短說出來」。三年前，教會開始在電視買廣告，每次播出兩分鐘，比五分鐘更縮短。每天兩分鐘講什麼呢?

「我講：人生需要什麼？」劉彤認為人生最需要是智慧。所以這兩分鐘導向人生的智慧，人生每個關口如障礙賽，人用智慧跳過去，「這就是跨越的人生。」

跨越人生有五大原則：肯定自我、掌舵人生、掌握生活的問題、選擇付出、珍惜現在。

肯定自我要先找到定位。找定位有三個方向：認識自己的優點和缺點、知道自己的喜愛和厭惡、明白自己的所有和所無。劉彤說，明白「所有」，就像撒下種籽，必有收成。大页Ｍ糇约旱摹杆小梗荷⒓彝ズ蜁r間，上天給每個人都是同樣的一天24小時。

人生船掌舵要認清人生最重要的事，其實只三件：信仰（價值觀）、夢想和家庭。

劉彤說，老來事業成為他人的江山，溫馨回憶唯有自己的家庭。談到家人的溝通，他說不必嚴肅，一起出去做點事也可以溝通，年輕人相愛只說兩句話就夠了，無非「我愛你」「我想你」，中年夫妻重燃愛火其實也離不開這兩句。

掌握生活問題，劉彤說逃避不是辦法，要先問：這真的是問題嗎? 他舉例說，子女染滿頭金髮就不是問題。其次，如果是問題，真得像遇到磚牆，一頭撞死嗎? 能不能繞過去、挖個地道過去? 第三，要看現有的機會是什麼，用之解決它。

劉彤強調「付出」，給予才有快樂，「否則你一年只有生日和耶誕節這兩天才快樂」，鼓勵人就是一種付出，「先生不愛作家事，往往因為太太不會鼓勵，只會嫌棄。」

談到「珍惜現在」，他說人總憂慮所做不到的，忽略現在就能做的，並非山頂才有好景緻，「沿途也美麗，人生過程都是沿途，」劉彤說，TNT不是炸藥，而是：Today,Not Tomorrow。

簽書會上 解答疑難雜症

【本報記者黃美惠聖荷西報導】劉彤簽書會上的「問題與解答」時間，台下遞上去許多「疑難雜症」，都不好答。

第一個問題問他如何得到智慧？劉彤說他的教會有兩千多人，六十多處分會，要回答各種問題真的很難。他以神的話為綱領，加上自己觀察的經驗。他說最喜歡在機場觀察來來往往的旅人。他也盡量從別人的角度來看事情，但承認有時提建議是出於人生經驗後的「直覺」。

第二個問題問他如何助憂鬱症者跨越人生？劉彤建議找出憂鬱的原因，幫助他站起來，走出小小心靈世界，知道世上有比他更缺乏更需要的人，陪著他一起做些事，讓他知道他也能付出能愛。

另個問題問如果有同性戀、變性晚輩該怎麼辦？劉彤強調第一件事就是要接納他。又有人問：失去健康要如何活出喜樂？劉彤講起「暗室之后」蔡蘇娟晚年是他的鄰居，她年輕就得一種病，有五十多年眼睛不能見光，而且不能起床行動。但是有千千萬萬人去看她，得到幫助和啟發。第一次劉彤去看她，她對他說，五十年她未曾問過上帝「為什麼？」只有問上帝：「主啊！今天你要我為你做什麼？」

最後一個問題問劉彤自己有沒有困難？人生有沒有問題？劉彤說他自己的難題很多很多，「只能在困難當中學習。」

李文中：自我矮化 影響馬施政
不應擔心被攻擊「賣台」政黨政治就是執政黨負全責 由志同道合者組閣

【本報記者黃清舊金山報導】資深傳媒人李文中12日表示，僑界最近都很關心馬英九總統提名監察院長、考試院長及兩院委員人選的問題，現在風波已告一段落，問題是馬英九以這麼高的票數當選總統，施政為何「疙疙瘩瘩」，令外界感到困擾。

李文中說，很多評論都分析得對，僑胞遠在海外也看到問題所在，他個人的看法是，影響馬英九的最重大問題，出在馬英九有一種「不是台灣人」的「原罪」的想法，過去八年民進黨說他不是台灣土生土長，是「香港腳」，可能是「賣台集團」的一分子，但他最後得到逾七百萬票當選，現在卻仍舊覺得自己不是台灣人。李文中認為這是馬英九「自我矮化」，有一種怕被台灣人說成「賣台」、「不愛台」的心理障礙，影響了馬英九的施政。

李文中說國父講心理建設要健全，比什麼都重要，「孫文學說可能不完全合乎21世紀，但心理建設確實對領導人非常重要，馬英九任用不是台灣人的官員，腦海裡不應有擔心被攻擊『賣台』的想法。」

李文中說，競選時一起打拼的人「不入府、不入閣、不入院」，原因就在於馬英九受到了上述想法的影響，對功臣還及不上「杯酒釋兵權」，飯都沒得吃就「推遠遠」，產生了「後遺症」。

李文中說，「黨政分離」與國民黨切割，馬英九以為當選不用黨的幫忙，是靠個人的能力而當選，實際卻不然，馬比對手多出二百多萬票，黨付出了很多心血，不能說當選和國民黨沒關係，政黨政治就是執政黨負全責，由志同道合的人組閣，理念不相符的人不顧施政的好與壞，如何對馬負責？人事決定出錯將後患無窮。

顧屏山：美應棄對中國偏見
百人會副會長指出 對等才能促進雙方關係 外國優秀人才流失是美國最大損失

【本報記者吳日君巴洛阿圖報導】美國百人會副會長、德勤(Deloitte LLP)中國業務部門特別顧問顧屏山(George P. Koo)11日應「大學扶輪社俱樂部」(University Rotary Club)之邀發表演講，從中美貿易開始談中美關係。他認為，美國應改變對中國的偏見，才能在對等基礎上促進雙方關係。

顧屏山指出，自從中國於2001年加入世界貿易組織(WTO)，經濟開放後，不僅僅中國，而是全世界都受益。尤其在美國，國會共有435個選區，其中就有406個區有商貿業務出口到中國，與中國的商務交流密切，中國也一直是美國商貿合作夥伴。此外，中國也是全世界研究發展支出最多的國家。

在全球各國的關係互動上，顧屏山表示，中國對待第三世界國家不似美國，例如中國與非洲剛果的投資合作，中國與剛果去年9月份簽署協議，投資90億美元協助剛果進行各方面建設，「非洲許多地區的環境不錯，但是缺乏供水、供電、運輸等基本設施。」

中國協助剛果發展，雙方有多個合資項目，中國不只投資，還參與培訓、技術轉移等，剛果開採銅、鎳、鈷等自然資源，獲益後再還給中國政府，雙方創造雙贏。

顧屏山長期致力於中美交流，有聽眾問他有關人權議題。他回答說，每個國家對人權處理方法不同，中國處理方法與美國不同，「例如，四川大地震與美國卡翠納風災，四川地震後，中國政府立即處理相關事宜，相對於此，美國卡翠納風災造成的破壞，有些至今仍未解決。」

顧屏山也提及美國聯邦調查局長久以來，對華人有偏見，當局認為中國政府利用海外華人對祖國的同情心，將訊息傳回中國，是最厲害的間諜做法。

他強調，此說法不正確，對華人偏見是不公平的做法。錯誤偏見對華人的影響相當廣，在任何機構工作，包括科技公司、實驗室等，都可能因為偏見與不公平待遇讓華裔的工作機會受到威脅，例如李文和成為代罪羔羊，「外國人才若不願留在美國，造成優秀人才流失，會是美國的最大損失。」

原任德勤會計事務所中國項目部主任，顧屏山今年4月份正式退休，但仍擔任德勤中國業務部特別顧問，本周末將陪同美國汽車零件廠商到中國、印度地區考察。他笑說，自己雖然退休，但是促進中國交流溝通的工作將一直持續下去。

趙霞告別儀式 哀愴感人
鄧鶯母親對她遇害感到痛心 希望檢察官重新起訴蔡耀華殺妻

【本報記者周吉吉洛斯蓋圖報導】日前在震驚灣區的兇案中遇難的聖荷西華人律師趙霞遺體告別儀式，11晚在洛斯蓋圖舉行。眾多趙霞生前親友前來弔唁。嫌犯蔡耀華亡妻鄧鶯的母親沈慧娣也到場出席。

當晚的告別儀式在洛斯蓋圖一處小教堂內舉行。趙霞的靈柩被安置在大廳前，以供親友瞻仰遺容。旁邊的大屏幕投影機不斷顯示趙霞生前留下的畫面。大廳入口處則布置了許多趙霞從童年到成年的照片。

從晚上6時開始，前來弔唁的親友絡繹不絕地來到靈堂瞻仰趙霞遺容，以表達對她的哀悼。部分親友及組織還專門送來花圈。

沈慧娣當天中午剛從上海搭機抵達舊金山機場，晚上就來參加趙霞遺體告別儀式。

沈慧娣表示，趙霞是位非常好的律師，工作盡心盡責，對她的不幸遇害感到非常哀痛。

沈慧娣表示，此次來美國主要目的是參加趙霞的葬禮。她還希望在蔡耀華17日出庭時自己也能到場。此外，她還希望與起訴蔡耀華殺妻案的檢察官會面，以表達希望重新起訴蔡耀華殺害鄧鶯的訴求。

她指出，對於趙霞遺留下的訴蔡耀華民事案，希望由與趙霞合作的律師接受，繼續進行下去。

沈慧娣回顧，她與趙霞沒有見過面，只通過電話。她表示，非常感謝趙霞承辦自己的案子，並指出，如果當初趙霞受到蔡耀華威脅後打退堂鼓，就再也沒有人會為自己伸張正義。正因為如此，沈慧娣對於趙霞遇害，感到非常痛心。她表示，此次是自己第三次來美國；第一次是把女兒的骨灰盒帶回中國，第二次來為蔡耀華殺妻案出庭作證，不久後卻被告知案件流審。

沈慧娣說，即使把民事訴訟獲得賠償全部付律師費，她也要為死去的女兒討回公道。

趙霞葬禮訂於12日上午10時，在洛斯蓋圖市Chapel ofthe Hills舉行。地址：615 N. Santa Cruz Ave., Los Gatos.

Addressing High Gas Prices

Skyrocketing gas and energy prices are hurting Nevada抯 working families. That抯 why I am pushing Congress to pass legislation to address the root causes of the problem and reduce the burden on consumers and the economy. Excessive speculation on Wall Street and around the world has helped drive dramatic increases in oil and energy prices. The bill I introduced would curb speculation, go after OPEC for collusion, and convince the oil companies to start investing their huge profits in clean, affordable alternatives like wind, solar and geothermal energy to power our economy. I've forced votes at least five times this year on legislation to help restrain energy prices and help the consumers. For those who say we should drill more at home, I believe the oil companies should start using the 68 million acres of onshore and off-shore leases they already own, before asking for more land. But let me be clear, we can't simply drill our way to lower prices or to real energy independence because America has less than 3% of the world's oil supplies and uses more than 25% of its production. That is why we must increase our investment in renewable energy sources like the ones that are so abundant in Nevada.*3

Nevada has been hit harder than any other state by the national foreclosure crisis, which is why I am working to ensure that the Senate passes legislation to help our homeowners. The Senate Housing Bill gives first time homebuyers an $8,000 tax-credit, and requires mortgage lenders to be up-front with homeowners about potential maximum payments. We also created a new program under the Federal Housing Authority that allows people to move from adjustable- to fixed-rate mortgages. I am proud of this bipartisan legislation and am confident that it will pass the Senate soon and help thousands of Nevadans.

Keeping Medicare Working for Nevada抯 Doctors and Patients

Yesterday, we made history. The Senate passed a bill, by a veto-proof, bipartisan majority, to halt the 10.6% cut in payments to physicians under Medicare. This will protect not only our seniors and people with disabilities, but also our veterans and military families who use TRICARE ?more than 350,000 Nevadans in all. The legislation provides key improvements for beneficiaries, including reducing out of pocket costs for seniors seeking mental health care ?a provision I have introduced and long fought to enact. This was good, bipartisan legislation ?a true compromise ?and I am so pleased we are going to get this relief out to our providers and beneficiaries.

"Leadership is love through integrity! To lead is to serve, to give, and to achieve together. Love with value is based on a real, practical, and genuine spirit concern for others as persons, for their values as they feel them, for their development and growth. A successful leader is consistently follwed by others. People follow because they have a belief in the direction, intergrity, and competence of the one leading. A leader's ultimate responsibility is to facilitate other individual's development as well as his (or her) own. Under her inspiration all the way from community involvements through international perspectives, it's our pleasure to participate, promote, and inspire the endeavor of individuals, organizations, and projects that can enrich the lives of many people and communities," pointed out U.

But he still lives in Searchlight … and he is still guided by the lessons and values he learned there.
The Las Vegas Sun newspaper summarized Reid’s story by saying that he 　鉮as gone from underdog to Senate’s top dog.　?Parade Magazine, the nation’s largest weekly magazine, identified Senator Reid as one of a handful of leaders in Washington with 　鉯ntegrity and guts.　?
Since Nevadans elected him to the Senate in 1986, Harry Reid has developed a reputation as a consensus builder and a skillful legislator. Even his Republican colleagues praise his reasoned, balanced approach.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has said, 　鉝e all respect Senator Reid. He is one of the moderate voices around here who tries to get things to work.　?
And former GOP Leader Trent Lott said, 　鉎arry Reid is out there finding a solution. I enjoy working with him very much.　?
He was elected to the Senate in 1986, and re-elected in 1992, 1998 and 2004. He has served as the chairman or senior Democratic member on several important committees and subcommittees.
Reid is a tireless worker, and it isn’t unusual for him to be the first Senator of either party to arrive at the Capitol in the morning and the last to go home at night.

趙小蘭從個人經驗談美國讓個人發展機會
2008-07-13 中國時報 【中央社】
　美國勞工部長趙小蘭指出，個人的經驗讓她認知到，美國的確是一個不論背景的環境，任何人只要肯努力，多半的情況，就會有機會。

　趙小蘭在接受「華爾街日報」專訪談美國的就業市場時表示，由於業界大幅裁員且房屋市場不振，社會上普遍憂心經濟衰退問題。事實上，目前美國百分之五點五的失業率仍低於一九九零年代的百分之五點七的平均失業率。

　她對於可能對勞動力產生長期影響的問題更為關切。她說，著重於科技及立即通訊的現代經濟已逐漸取代仰賴製造業的舊經濟。勞動人口可以有更具彈性的工作時間及方式來提高生產力，而工作準則的改變也造成工會的式微。

　她指出，在一九七九年，百分之二十四點一的美國工人加入工會，而目前卻只有百分之十二點一。非在政府機構服務的受雇人員只佔薪水階級人口的百分之七點五。在求職及薪資所得方面，學歷比工會的會員卡更有用。

　她舉例說，擁有大學學歷者的受雇人口的週薪平均在一千四百美元以上，而失業率是百分之二點二；中學時就輟學的受雇人口平均週薪只有五百二十八美元，而他們的失業率是百分之八點三。

　她對於國會中提出的有關加強政府對業界監督的法案甚不以為然。她說，如果這些法案在國會中通過實施，美國就會面臨困擾歐洲經濟的問題，包括強制加入工會及企業提供員工病假支部份薪資及辭退員工應提早通知等。

　她認為，如果國會在明年通過並開始實施這些條例，雇主們就更難讓他們的員工適應改變中的經濟。她也強調，美國經濟的成功也是基於勞動力具有彈性。

　作為勞工部長，趙小蘭認為，當務之急是加強職業訓練及政策的透明化，必須讓社會大眾了解政府所發佈的各項規定。

　趙小蘭指出，一九六一年，她與母親、妹妹搭乘貨輪從台灣到美國和來美已三年的父親相聚，當時她只有八歲。她認為，美國的確很特別，是一個充滿機會之地。

Obama dismisses conservative criticism
By LIZ SIDOTI
Associated Press Writer

((Obama accepts Jackson's apology for crude remark))

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama batted away conservative criticism Friday over a comment he made about Americans' lack of foreign language skills.

"The Republicans jumped on this. I said, absolutely immigrants need to learn English, but we also need to learn foreign languages," the likely Democratic nominee said as the 1,000-plus crowd in a school gymnasium cheered. It's a position he long has held.

"This is an example of some of the problems we get into when somebody attacks you for saying the truth, which is: We should want our children with more knowledge. We should want our children to have more skills. There's nothing wrong with that. That's a good thing. I know, because I don't speak a foreign language. It's embarrassing," Obama said chuckling as his audience did the same.

At issue was a remark the Illinois senator made Monday in Powder Springs, Ga., that drew laughter from the crowd - but disdain from conservatives and groups advocating English as the official U.S. language. His remark has caused buzz on the Internet and talk radio.

The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC said in a statement, "Barack Obama has stepped on a political land mine by stating Americans should be forced to learn to speak Spanish." But that's not what Obama said.

Obama was answering a question on education when he said he doesn't understand people who say "we need English only."

"I agree that immigrants should learn English," Obama said. "But instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English - they'll learn English - you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual. We should have every child speaking more than one language."

He argued that the country should be emphasizing foreign language study in classrooms.

"You know, it's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is 'merci beaucoup!'" Obama said, laughing.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE wbti: ***** +++++
By Al Gore

***** "....... ." ---??? *101

Dear Tony,

I'd like to welcome you to the "We Campaign", which is an extension of the work we've been doing together at AlGore.com. You will receive emails, like the one below, with important actions, which I encourage you to participate in. I hope you will continue to add your energy and your voice to this vital movement.*102

Only by working together will we be able to solve the climate crisis.

Sincerely,

Al Gore
____________________

This is silly. Once again, we're being held hostage by the big energy companies, and we're paying for it at the pump. Some people think more drilling is going to help, but that sort of flawed thinking is what got us into this mess to begin with. Instead of prolonging our addiction to oil, we need to look beyond fossil fuels and invest in new solutions. It's time to get real about our energy options.

Why remain captive to skyrocketing fuel prices when we can develop an economy based on efficient transportation and clean, free sources of energy (like the sun and wind)?

The We Campaign is about coming together to demand the smart, dependable and reasonably priced energy that we deserve. Energy that will strengthen the economy and stop global warming. Click here to help break our addiction to fossil fuels.

We are a great country -- with fantastic resources -- and we will not be held hostage by dirty energy companies.

Be a voice for real solutions today.*103

Sincerely,

Cathy Zoi
